On October 9, 2024, Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation Department joined the ranks of “elite” park and recreation agencies across the country by earning national accreditation status through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). This distinguished accomplishment was awarded during the 2024 NRPA Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

CAPRA accreditation is the only national accreditation for park and recreation agencies and is a measure of an agency's overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community. This mark of distinction indicates that Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation Department has met rigorous standards related to the management and administration of lands, facilities, resources, programs, safety, and services.

As our department staff continue its journey of providing quality of life services to our Caddo Parish citizens and respective visitors, the Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation Department will remain committed to delivery outcomes that are aligned with best practices for parks and recreation management.
